Edmonton Oilers: With Vatanen Gone, Options Vanishing

The Edmonton Oilers are running out of options, as they are now six days away from the draft. As each day goes by, it seems another right-handed defenseman is off the trade market, making things even more difficult. It’s as if the entire league is one big game, and the Oilers don’t know how to play.

Earlier Saturday, the Anaheim Ducks re-signed Sami Vatanen to a four-year contract, where he will likely earn around $5 million per season. He will likely not be moving after that, and now, the Oilers should start scratching their heads. The list of RHD no longer available on the trade market is… frightening.
